About the artist
 
I was born in 1958 in Indiana in the USA and now live near Chicago. I am a freelance web designer and computer graphics artist, in addition to whatever other gigs I can drum up. I am an artist member of the International Association of Astronomical Artists (IAAA).

Ever since I was old enough to hold a pencil, I've been attempting to render images of space ships and dinosaurs. In 1982 I acquired my first programmable computer: a Timex Sinclair 1000, with 2KB of onboard RAM, upgradeable to a whopping 16KB. At $100, it was the least expensive retail computer available. Connected to a black & white television, you could program "reasonably" dynamic graphics using its built-in BASIC interpreter, but its capacity was easily topped out. Despite the 1000's limitations, I found that it was easier to draw a straight line with a computer than with a pencil, and that's how I became enamored by the power of computer graphics.

I've dabbled in computer graphics ever since. As I already have a website dedicated to space art, this site is home to my other dabbles...er doodles... If you like something, let me know. High resolution versions of these graphics are available either as prints or downloads.
